A modern Android RDP client for connecting to Windows desktops from your phone, tablet, or DeX/desktop-mode display.
Built on FreeRDP, designed for touch-first use, and ready for big screens.
⚠️ Work in progress. cRDP is still work in progress - features may change, break, or disappear between builds, and rough edges are expected. Treat it as an enthusiastic hobby project, not a polished commercial product.

- Direct connections — straight TCP to any Windows host on your network.
- Gateway connections — relay through a WebSocket gateway when you can't reach the host directly.
- Saved profiles with quick-launch, per-connection settings, and an organized connection list.
- Real multi-touch via RDPEI — direct touch on the remote desktop, not just emulated mouse clicks.
- Tap-and-half drag, signed scroll wheel, and gesture-aware input that feels right on a phone.
- DeX / desktop-mode shell — a proper windowed experience when you dock your phone or run on a large screen.
- Material 3 UI with light/dark theming.
- Clean session screen that gets out of the way.
- Connection details and session info when you want them.
- Credential vault with biometric unlock.
- Credentials stay on-device; nothing shipped to the cloud.
- Webcam redirect with H.264 — follows phone orientation.
- Printer redirect (Android print framework).
- Clipboard sync between phone and remote desktop.
Grab the latest APK from the Releases page, or build from source — see the Technical Wiki for build instructions.
- Open cRDP and tap + to add a connection.
- Enter the host address, username, and (optionally) save credentials to the vault.
- Tap the profile to connect.
That's it. For gateway setups, advanced flags, or troubleshooting, see the Technical Wiki.
